Thank you very much for your feedback!
Actually the rats did not eat the plant, they only eat pumpkins, but the plant self-destroys after growing a few pumpkins (this might not be clear if you don’t see it directly tho). And in the shop, you have a “dirt pumpkin” that costs 0 soul and can be grown to get souls in case you get stuck. Guess it was not explicit enough haha, we might add a tutorial about this in a later version! And if you have the time and will to do so, please give it another try considering these hints ;)
Oh and by the way, the music is not ours at all, go check out the creators who made it, they have other creations that might interest you as well :)
